Tokkyuri / Odate bent-wood
The bottom plate is more precise to prevent sake leakage, and the two-part tokkuri has a non-slip handle to make it easy to hold. It is light and gentle to the touch and insulates well enough to hold hot sake. Please enjoy it with guginomi.

Painted to enjoy the aroma of wood
The inside of the sake cup is uncoated so that you can enjoy the aroma of the wood as well as the barrel sake, while the outside is coated in consideration of the possibility of getting lipstick, etc. on it. The white wood finish on the inside makes the sake taste mellow and delicious with the aroma of cedar.
For heating sake
One cup can be easily heated in a microwave oven in one minute, and two cups in two minutes.
Odate Bent Wappa
Thinly shaved boards of Akita cedar are boiled in boiling water to soften them, then rolled into a cylindrical shape and the joints are glued together. The joints are glued together, and the bottom board is fixed by sewing it with the bark of mountain cherry trees.
Akita cedar, one of the three most beautiful forests in Japan, grows with tight annual rings and fine grain due to the harsh cold weather. The fine grain of the wood means less expansion and contraction, resulting in less distortion and superior durability. The trees must be 200 to 300 years old before they can be used to make bentwood.

The sixth generation Kurimori Shunji won the Good Design Award, the first in Akita Prefecture, for his "Kaku-bon" (square tray), and has since produced many other award-winning products. He is a traditional craftsman certified by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, a master craftsman of Akita, and a master craftsman of our time.
